Amazing how fast the time can fly. It feels like we just started 2010 and here it is gone and a new year to begin. Last year I added a bit of History with Christmas Eve here. So many Fishes are made on the Eve, suggestions can be mussels, crab, lobster, scallops, rock shrimp, stone crab, shrimp, calamari, eel, snails, tuna, salmon, walleye, haddock, smelts, sardines and scungilli the list goes on an on. I put together what my family loves.

I have made some wonderful fabulous foodie friends this year and am thankful for every one that visits, comments and enjoys reading my blog this is so addicting and the common bond is we all love to eat and cook! The other wonder of cooking online together is the admiration we all have for each other, you can feel the excitement when you have really had a great post in your comments, words and it's just a fabulous gift! Your all a wonderful supportive group of amazing bloggers. Some of the most rewarding friendships come from the universal bond of cooking together! I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of my readers in appreciation for all the time you have made to come here in 2010, read, comment. Your support has brought me a great sense of joy to move into the new year with such a wonderful audience of family and foodie friends. I can't thank you all enough for all your lovely awards and thoughtfulness. I hope I have returned that thankfulness in this heartfelt note.

Here's a blessing to share with you and all your families, our troops and those less fortunate this holiday season,"May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~

WOW!!!!! What a great meal for Christmas Eve and you do it with great style! Love your cats dressed up and wish ours would settle for that. Here's wishing you and yours a great Merry Christmas and the best in the New Year, Claudia!

Yeah, you're so right! Time just flies. Another year to come! Wishing you & your family a very Merry Christmas. Hope you're having a marvellous time and enjoy the night.May god bless you all.Best wishes, Kristy ((hugs))

So, officially, the secret reason I wish I was Italian is the Seven Fishes Christmas Eve dinner that all Italians get to enjoy, and all Armenians (namely me) feel bad about, lol. Maybe I should marry an Italian :)

Claudia, I am truly pea green with envy that you have practiced and enjoyed the Italian tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes! My family is from the Northern mountains and there may have been a river fish here or there, but nothing else! So when I asked my mother why we never celebrated this feast, she explained the geographic reason and their mountain poverty in Northern Italy. I am sure that it is and was perfectly wonderful! I hope your Christmas was beautiful and that you have a blessed New Year! Amore, Roz
